Gunslinger

Just as he was speaking, the auctioneer Anya on the stage asked, "Mr. No. 190, seat [-], do you need to pay in cash? Do you want to get the auction item now?"

"Yes." Lin Feng said, put the bag back under his feet, then reached into the cloth bag, took out a large handful of gold coins, put them on the table, and there was a clattering sound.

Then, another handful.

One after another, the table was quickly filled.Lin Feng said: "Well, three thousand gold coins...and one more."

As he said that, he took out another one from the bag, threw it with his hand, and it fell on the table with a jingle.

The table of shining gold coins made everyone speechless for a while.

Then, two masked men in black, holding a large scale in their hands, led five women in red low-cut satin gowns, holding five plates covered with red cloth.

Then, I saw these people sweeping the gold coins on the table onto the weighing pan of the large scale and weighing them.A man in a black mask said: "Thirty-seven thousand five hundred and twelve grams, a total of three thousand and one gold coins, one is not too much, and the other is not much."

The surrounding crowd was startled for a moment, and then there was an uproar.

Three thousand and one gold coins may not sound like a lot, but it is impossible for anyone present to be able to count the gold coins so clearly after randomly grabbing a few handfuls.

If anyone doesn't believe it, you can randomly grab [-] rice from a bag of rice and see if it can be so accurate.

At this time, Lin Feng said: "A gold coin is [-] grams, so there is still [-] grams missing. I don't know if your scale is not accurate enough or the gold coin is worn out."

As he said that, he turned his hand over to reveal a gold coin, and then lightly grasped it, squeezed the gold coin into a gold ball, rubbed it into a small ball, and threw it on the scale: "Okay, make up the zero." Five grams, a lot."

The expressions of the surrounding people under the masks changed slightly, and their scalps tingled for a while.

The gold coins in this world are not pure gold, but some metals are mixed into the gold to make it hard and firm, so as not to be scraped off by people.

That Lin Feng was able to knead gold into balls without fighting spirit. This alone was enough to show his extraordinary strength.If he shot with all his strength, no one present would be able to stop him, right?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the masked man in black say in surprise: "A total of 510 and [-] grams!!!"

In an instant, everyone couldn't help but gasped, and the auction hall was filled with the sound of breathing.

For a moment, everyone's eyes on Lin Feng changed. They were no longer looking at an upstart rich man, but full of awe, looking at a master of martial arts.

There was a dead silence.Everyone just watched quietly as the beauties at the auction carried gold coins on a plate and walked behind the scenes together with the two men in black masks.Then, someone handed that jade ruyi to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng took Ruyi, and felt warm and cold in his hands.Looking carefully, he found that this jade Ruyi was carved out of pieces of suet nephrite jade, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Good jade!!"

If it were on the earth, this jade ruyi, let alone an antique, even if it was a modern product, would never be able to be exchanged for a mere few million catties of grain.

It's a pity that people in this world don't pay much attention to jade and don't pay much attention to jade, so they sell this jade Ruyi cheaply.

Moreover, on Earth, not to mention antiques tens of thousands of years ago, even Ruyi made of bronze before the Tang Dynasty can be exchanged for more than a few million catties of grain.

But it is a pity that in this world, there are too many antiques tens of thousands of years ago... Rare things are more expensive, and there are more antiques, and they will be cheaper.Therefore, ordinary antiques are not very valuable.

Just as Lin Feng was looking at this jade ruyi and trying to inject his true energy into it, the auctioneer Anya on the stage had already shouted: "Okay, thank Mr. 190 Seven for bidding on the ancient mysterious item, next..."

Halfway through the conversation, Lin Feng from the audience laughed and said, "It's really a big profit. It's really rare that this jade Ruyi has been preserved so well for tens of thousands of years. You don't have to worry about hurting your skin when you use it."

Although his voice was not loud, it contained true energy, which could be heard by everyone in the venue.

For a split second, Anya auctioneer was stunned. What he just said was only halfway through.

And the other people in the entire auction venue were also stunned. Like puppets, they turned their heads in a daze subconsciously, staring at Lin Feng in a daze.

The entire auction venue was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard.

After a while, there was an uproar from the entire scene: "He recognized that mysterious item?!! That thing is called 'Ruyi'?!!"

"No way? Maybe it's nonsense... But even the most famous archaeologists in the empire can't recognize it!!"

"Impossible, how could he recognize it?!"

Those people cast suspicious eyes on Lin Feng.

At this time, Anya auctioneer on the stage couldn't help asking: "Dear Mr. 190 No. [-], may I ask...do you recognize that jade product?"

"Yes, this thing is called Ruyi, because it is made of jade, so it is called Yu Ruyi."

As Lin Feng said, he shook Yu Ruyi in his hand.

Anya was stunned, and asked a question that everyone else was concerned about: "Excuse me...can I be honored to know what this thing called Yu Ruyi does?"

Lin Feng nodded: "Of course you can. Actually, it's not very useful. This jade ruyi is usually used to tickle itches, just like the folk saying 'don't ask for help'."

"Don't ask for help?!" Anya obviously didn't know the meaning of the name.

"Hehe." Lin Feng smiled and said, "It's just a small thing used to scratch the back. It's what people often call itchy scratching. Because using that small thing makes the back itchy, so you don't have to ask others to do it yourself. Come to scratch, that's called 'don't ask for help'." As he spoke, he made a gesture of stroking Yu Ruyi on the back.

When the people around heard it, their hearts were moved, but they didn't make a sound.

Although Lin Feng said that scratching is a bit vulgar in this kind of place, but isn't the so-called elegant thing just a little packaging of vulgar things?

Moreover, who among the people present has not had an itchy back?Even the "scratch" that Lin Feng mentioned has been used by everyone present.After all, there are similar inventions in this world.It's just that it doesn't sound as good as "don't ask for help".

Moreover, that "not begging for help" was not as delicate and elegant as the jade ruyi in Lin Feng's hands.

Just think about it, if you hold a jade ruyi as exquisite as Lin Feng's...or something with the same style but more gorgeous.Others regard it as a treasure, but carefully put it in the collection room as a precious offering, and are reluctant to take it out for display.However, in my own hands, this thing is just for scratching... Just thinking about it, I feel an overwhelming aura of wealth and nobility.

Therefore, everyone present did not make a sound, but listened quietly. However, most people still couldn't help but feel a little disapproving, thinking: Although the name sounds nice, in the final analysis, it is still just a good-looking name. Just scratching.Scratching utensils, no matter how nice they are, they can't be on the table.

Just as he was thinking, he heard Lin Feng say again: "In ancient times, there were not only jade ruyis, but also gold ruyis made of gold. But later, all ruyis were made of jade, and only the upper class could Use...Miss Anya, do you know why?"

Anya shook her head: "I also want to ask the respected Mr. 190 No. [-]."

Lin Feng said with a smile: "Because if you use gold to make Ruyi, it will look too vulgar, and if you use gems that contain energy, it will look too extravagant. Therefore, in ancient times, people would I like to use jade to make Ruyi.

"Jade is warm and hard, and will not hurt the skin. Moreover, the stone quality of jade is 'white' and 'hard'. Therefore, people who wear jade products with them should use the jade on their body as a metaphor for their own character. White, gentle, and flawless like jade, his character is as upright and resolute as jade. It means that he is a man of great virtue, a noble gentleman, a nobleman among nobles, and extremely noble."

The people around heard their brows twitch wildly, feeling half-believing in their hearts that what Lin Feng said didn't sound like nonsense.

It's just... It's a little surprising that these words actually come from the mouth of an "upstart"? ! !

Moreover, does Yu Ruyi have other meanings and special uses?

Therefore, a guest who participated in the auction tentatively said in the hall: "Sir, what you have said so much is actually just a small gadget for scratching an itch. After all, it is something that cannot be put on the table."

Lin Feng smiled slightly: "It's not just as simple as scratching an itch. Do you know why this thing is called 'Ruyi' instead of 'Don't Ask for Help' or 'Itchy Scratch'?"

As he spoke, he looked around, and then said lightly: "That's because some nobles in ancient times liked to take a kind of elixir called 'Wu Shi San'. , giving people a feeling of being light and floating, as if they will fly to the sky at any time and become a fairy, and it will also cause itching on the body.

"So, in addition to wearing a kind of loose clothes to dissipate heat, they are also used to wearing a jade ruyi. Wherever they feel uncomfortable, they will feel comfortable when the wish arrives. Ruyi is everywhere, and everywhere is wishful. This is the name of Ruyi. Head, that's how it came.

"Therefore, in ancient times, this was something that only the nobles could play with. Moreover, people with insufficient moral character or lack of character would be criticized if they used flawless jade to make Ruyi.

"Because this jade wishful is rare, people without a certain status can't use it casually. Therefore, in the documents of ancient times, literati still added a lot of special meaning to this jade wishful in various scrolls handed down from generation to generation. .

"For example, many books believe that the word 'Ruyi' in this jade ruyi contains the meaning of 'auspicious and ruyi'. It is an auspicious instrument and can bring good luck to people. Therefore, this jade ruyi is often It will also be decorated with various auspicious patterns... Just like the Ganoderma lucidum on this wishful handle, it means longevity... Well, if it is an old Ganoderma lucidum, it can help people prolong life. clear."

Speaking of this, the people around exclaimed, and murmured in their hearts: "No wonder they look so familiar, so this is Ganoderma lucidum..."

Lin Feng said again: "In addition, look again: this Ruyi's head is slightly bent... There is also a meaning in it, which contains the philosophical thought of 'turning back is wishful'. It means, 'People are not sages, Who can be blameless? If you make a mistake, turn back, that is a great kindness', and the so-called "the prodigal son turns back and the money is not exchanged".

"So, some noble families will also use this jade ruyi to beat their children who have done wrong things. It means to let the children who accidentally did wrong things know how to turn around and stop making mistakes..."

Having said that, Lin Feng paused, and scanned the entire hall.

All the people in the hall turned their heads and listened to him quietly, obviously most of them believed what he said.

Immediately, he smiled slightly and said: "Besides that, this jade ruyi has another very interesting use. Guess what it is?!"
